not be as great as it has been. There
YM a ray of encouragement for those
who were ready to receive the prophet's
words. Zebultm-The country of Galilee

people of Judah. They were at this time
limier a two -fold darkness: I. The dark -
nese of outward trouble. See II, leing.s
xv. 7, Xvi. 4-8, 17; IL Chron,
5-8. 2. They were in moral darkness.
Ahaz had led the people into the most
nbotninable practices in honor of the
heathen divinities whose worship he had
established in his kingdom. Finally, to-
wards the close of the reign, he shut in
' the great doors Of the temple (IL Ohio;;.
xxviii. 24), diecontinued the offering of
incense and, the morning and evening sac-
rifice, and left the whole interior to
decay, neglect and ruin.
IL A Great Light. (vs. 2-5). 2. A
great light -The sudden change from
tlenee darkness to the shining light which
the • prophet saw is quite remarkable,
Whetelight was thos? ,The promise of
redeintition; the prospect of the coming
of Immanuel.
3. Hetet multiplied the nation -Isaiah
-with prophetic eye pierces the centuries
and sees the hosts that would come
under the reign of the Messiah and be
numbered -with the true spiritual IsraeL
And not increased -See R. V. for correct
rendering. They joy before thee -The
prophet notes it to be a religious joy, for
it le said to be before God -that is, in
His presence, and with a grateful ack-
nowledgment of His benefits.-Lowth.
4. Thou hest broken the yoke -"The
Jere were successively delivered from
the burdensome and galling yoke of the
Assyrians, Chaldeans, Persians and Mace -
donation but these deliverances were
only a shadow of redemption from the
yoke Of Satan; and that redemption
seems here especially, predicted, as if al-
ready accomplished.' As in the days
of Alidian-As Gideon with a handful
of men conquered the hosts of Indians
so Messiah, the "child." (v. 6), shall
prove to be the "Prince of Peace," and
the small company under Him shall
overcome the mighty hosts of Anti-
christ. See the same contrast in Micha.

of antiquity to pile the arms of pros-

• Unto us -The prophet spake of the pre-
dicted blessings as if already' communi-
cated. Angels say, "Unto you," but this
child was born for the benefit of u$ men,
of us sinners, of all believers, to the end
of the world. -Scott. "In the far dis-

The Everlasting Father. The term fa-
ther means much to mummy children, but
as we study God's word it is very evi-
dent that God intended fathers to be
very much more to their offspring than
they are -comfort, protection, support,
assistance and much more. But no -mat-
ter how near to the ideal any father aP-
preaches, the time will come when it will
be said, "Father is dead." He can then
no longer protect, comfort and support.

The Prince of Peace. How sad. to think
that man has never been content to live
in peace. History is largely the record
of man slaying his fellow man. The wars
of the last half Of the nineteenth Christ-
ian century are sorrowful to contem-
plate. The opening of the twentieth
century is not reassuring. Yet the Prince
of Peace has made wonderful conquests.
We look hopefully forward to the time
when man shall learn war no more.

general way is fair. As regards the goods
for will& the demand is accelerated. by
the approach of Christmas, the trade is
brisk, and it looks as though the country
felt able to spend money on the season's
festivities. me manufacturing indus-
tries generally continue active, and val-
ues continue steady to firm. The coml.
try trade has not been so brisk. The
wholesalers in a. number of lines here are
busy stock -taking. The spring movement
in certain departments has begun with a
vigor that -promises well.
There is fair activity in wholesale cir-
cles at Toronto. The colder weather has
had a good effect upon the movement of
seasona-ble lines, and 'the sorting trade
generally is satisfactory, althouglothis is
never a brisk season. The wholesalers
are meeting with a good demand for holi-
day goods, and much more frequently
than In years past this demand is shown
for goods of high quality. The continued
prosperity of the west 33 universally felt
to favor a continuance of good. trade con-
ditions here.
At Quebec wholesale trade in general
shows no great signs of activity. Colder
weather is wanted. Collections are still
slow.
According to Bradstreet's advices,
rade conditions at Winnipeg are satis-
nie and say I was fanatical or insane. acfory in all departments. The Amer -
"I kept the affair a secret for some ican demand for Canadian wheat has had
the effect of materially raising prices,
and although grain is pretty well out of
the farmers' hands, this is a, factor in the
country's prosperity.
Victoria and Vancouver reports to
Bradstreet's say: There is an improve-
ment in the condition of wholesale -trade
here. There is talk of an end to the
trouble in the lumber trade, but 'nothing
very definite is announced. on this score.
There is a continued. depression in the

the vision is yet for an appointed time,
but at the end it Shall speak and not lie;
though it tarry, wait not. for it, because
it will surely tome, it will not tarry.'
'This was the second and third verses
of the second chapter of Habakkuk. I
did. not know such book existed in the

"I continued 'to hesitate for fear of
ridicule, but was so impressed with what

Boggiano, got his hand on the revolver.
Seeing this, Boggiano says he reached
for a- broken tabile knife and plunged
again and again.at Bender's throat. That
was all he claimed to have done'other
than drag the body of Bender to the
sink in an attempt to revive his victim,
But the criminal authorities did not take
any stock in Boggiano's story. Their
theory wa's that Boggiano lay in' wait for
Bender, presumably behind the door, and
when Bender entered. Boggiano hit him
over the head with the billy.' They also'
said he fired the revolver at Bender. Not
